SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from February 1, 2024, to February 29, 2024, the
NRC granted 13 exemptions in response to requests submitted by the
following licensees: Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.; DTE Electric
Company; Duke Energy Progress, LLC/Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Entergy
Operations, Inc.; Florida Power & Light Company; Nebraska Public Power
District; Union Electric Company, doing business as Ameren Missouri;
Virginia Electric and Power Company; and Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating
Corporation.
These exemptions temporarily allow the licensee to deviate from
certain requirements of part 73 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,''
subpart T, ``Security Notifications, Reports, and Recordkeeping.'' In
support of its exemption requests, the licensees agreed to effect site-
specific administrative controls that maintain the approach to
complying with 10 CFR part 73 in effect prior to the NRC's issuance of
a final rule, ``Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and
Security Event Notifications,'' which was published in the Federal
Register on March 14, 2023, and became effective on April 13, 2023 (88
FR 15864).
II. Availability of Documents
The tables in this notice provide transparency regarding the number
